The Yankees exploded for four runs, knocked Jered Weaver out of the ball game and took a three run lead in the sixth inning.

Chris Parmelee led off the inning with a solo homer to left, the second home run allowed by Weaver today, before Weaver got Ronald Torreyes to fly out. Jacoby Ellsbury drew a one out walk and Jose Alvarez was brought in to relieve Weaver.

Alvarez gave up asingle to Brett Gardner and a double to Carlos Beltran, that scored Ellsbury, before himself being removed for Cam Bedrosian.

Bedrosian got Alex Rodriguez to ground out before Brian McCann drove in Gardner and Beltran with an RBI single. Satlin Castro grounded into a fielder’s choice to short to end the inning.

Alvarez has had a rough series. The lefty was brought into Monday’s game tied 2-2 with two on and two out and served up a three-run homer and lost the game for the Angels. Again, like Monday Alvarez comes in and does not record an out, but gives up two hits and ends up getting charged with two runs.

The offensie onslught continued in the seventh with a two-run home run from Parmelee, who had not started a game the entire year. Beltran added a two run homer as well, pushing the Yankees lead to 12-5.
